unless the Shields have changed, I wouldn't buy them again. They're very bulky and have no cuff which makes them cold. We went for Sealskinz MTB waterproof gloves last year and so far so good. |

Very happy with my Gore waterproof gloves. Even after crawling through 3 foot snow drifts today and several over-the-bar moments whilst riding on the south downs today, I never got cold hands

Will do. I just took delivery of a few bits yesterday, first impressions of the gloves are good. Not to chunky, little bit of feeling loss from the finger tips as there seems to be a little bit of excess bulk padding and waterproof lining down there. Will let you know how they perform when on the bike. |

I've had my Sealskinz gloves for about 4 years now, used primary for wet (dare I say it hear, motorised enduro's) and now are being put into use for winter MTB. Great gloves, certainly never got wet or cold hands MTB, 4 hour enduro's have found them out, but I just change gloves at a refueling stop, but these have been extreme conditions, oh think their socks are great also for MTB. Cheers Steve |

I love my Gore Radiators. You look a bit strange when not on the bike though.
